> How BS your argument is!!! <

I am disappointed that you decided to drift towards vulgarity.

But yes, the Supreme Court is supposed to uphold the Constitution. That doesn’t mean they will. A pet peeve of mine is their interpretation of the 6th Amendment. That amendment says that in ALL criminal cases the accused has the right to a jury trial.

No, said the Supreme Court a couple of decades ago. You are only entitled to a jury trial if the penalty is more than 180 days imprisonment. Otherwise, you have no right to ask for a jury trial. Unbelievable, but yet it stands.

So that’s my point. We must see things as they are, not as they should be.

It’s late, so I’m calling it a night. If you have a polite counter-argument, I hope to read it tomorrow. I often learn new things that way.

But if it’s just more vulgarity…best to just let it be.

I don't give two red plug cents about your disappointment!!!
You incensed me with your inane "defer to voters" dribble which you kept repeating.
I'm not in some popularity contest nor am I here to be liked as if I were some vacuous gen z freak looking for followers.

Now all you're doing is mouthing useless platitudes.
